Notes on Ryback, Zema Ion, Maria Kanellis, Norman Smiley, and more

– Ryback stated in an interview: “Growing up, I loved Razor Ramon, ‘The Bad Guy,’ I thought he was the coolest thing walking on the planet. But him, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and The British Bulldog were all interchangeable there for awhile. I liked Diesel, the big seven footer… It’s also cool because Razor Ramon – Scott Hall’s his real name – he texts me now or will call me and just says, ‘great job, keep doing what you’re doing.’ So for me, growing up he was my favorite, that’s pretty cool to me now that this guy that I grew up idolizing texts me now tells me, ‘good job.”

– Sent in by a reader: http://www.thepainclinic.net/20130921.mp3 There’s an interview with Zema Ion here, talking about his recent health issues. He talked about being depressed after finding out he may have cancer and being faced with thousands of thousands of dollars in medical bills, calling it “a really dark time”, but says he’s feeling better these days. Sadly, it STILL doesn’t sound like he’s got his health insurance situation sorted out.

– Per former Diva Maria Kannelis on facebook, she’s currently enrolled in college and majoring in Film.
